Hello All,

Well, it looks like the Fall migration is starting. It's only 5 days til August and we had a male visit our gardens today. The winds were out of the north at 10-20 mph, so it had a nice leasurly tail wind. I was only able to take one pic and it's terrible :(
Just as I was taking the pic the male got spooked off by a grackle making a b-line to the birdbath...Grrrr. At least I got something to show for our records. It has been about 2 hours now and I haven't seen it since. I'm grateful I at least got a pic for our records...as lousy as it is. I would have been real upset if I got nothing at all.
If I had to guess, the male is at a point where he's saying...well, my job is done with the ladies, time to go back to the resort in Central America/Mexico. He's probably one of the ones that take the long trek to Canada...so starting out early. I'm just guessing :)
